WIF’s Black Member Forum
When we first established the Black Member Forum in summer 2020, our country was rocked by righteous protests against ongoing establishment violence against Black people. What emerged from our first town hall-style virtual discussion and subsequent gatherings was a deeper understanding of what BIPOC in our community need from WIF as an organization.

"By offering events for Black members only, to support our Black members’ wellness and professional development, we aim to take action against white supremacy in our industry and culture."
Culture can be transformed, and so can our industry. At WIF, we aim to create community and spaces for women, particularly BIPOC women, to nurture creativity, build and sustain careers, create avenues for the next generation, and claim our power. We know that we can only end the long-established pattern of racism in Hollywood if we prioritize the changes that women of color need to thrive.
This organization was founded by women who knew that building community and mutual empowerment was the only way to achieve parity in the male-dominated and sexist entertainment industry. We pledge to deepen and sustain our investment in equity for all women in the screen industries, and this means acknowledging and addressing the specific needs of women of color in protected, respectful, and culturally-sensitive spaces.
